Fig. 3: ASD diagnoses among EASE participants and group differences of Laterality Scores in the three other stimulus conditions.

a Laterality Scores in the Global Motion condition versus ADOS-2 CS total scores at 36 months from EASE children who partook in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5ed) diagnostic session (n = 55), highlighting very few positive cases (n = 4) with a confirmed ASD diagnosis. b No difference in the mean Laterality Scores between the four groups of infants during global form processing (all p > 0.25). c. and d. Similarly, mean Laterality Scores between the four infant groups were found to be very similar during both the local form processing (all p > 0.50) and local motion processing (all p > 0.50), respectively. Boxplots show the sample median, and the first and third quartiles; whiskers show minimum and maximum (±1.5 s.d.); dots are outliers (±1.96 s.d.); sample sizes are the same as reported in Fig. 2b (nEL high-ADOS = 14, nEL low-ADOS = 25, nLL = 16, nBATSS = 452).
